This deep-flavored dish celebrates all the best veggies of fall and early winter. I love the way the sweetness of the squash and parsnips interacts with the oniony flavor of the sauteed leeks.
Ingredients
- 3 cups butternut squash, cubed (about 1 lb.) shopping list
- 1 tsp olive oil shopping list
- 2 Cups peeled, diced carrots shopping list
- 2cups peeled, diced parsnips shopping list
- 1 Tbsp butter shopping list
- 1 1/4 cup vegetable broth shopping list
- 1 tsp. sugar shopping list
- 2 large leeks, trimmed, all but 2 inches of green removed shopping list

How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a shallow roasting pan, heat olive oil over medium heat on stove. Add squash, season with salt & pepper and toss gently. Add 1/2 cup of the veggie broth and transfer to oven. Bake for 15 minutes or until squash is just tender (do not overcook).
